“The Right Time”
An outstanding new song
from an outstanding new artist
Tia Hofgraff
At 21 years of age, with tremendous talent, powerful vocals, and a great new single, these and many more attributes belong to a delightful singer/songwriter new to the pop music scene — Tia Hofgraff.
“The Right Time,” co-written by Doug Cameron (Mona and the Children), was arranged and produced by award-winning producer Mike Francis. It is being released on Tia’s own label, Tiam, and is suitable for play on most radio stations, including those with soft rock, pop, adult contemporary, and M.O.R. formats, as well as contemporary country crossover stations.
True talent is not easily overlooked — and so it was with Tia when, at the age of 19, she won her second consecutive Canadian Country Open Championship. At this point, she decided to begin singing professionally. One of her prizes was a recording session, from which came her first single, “Mister.” Response was excellent.
From that first self-penned single, Tia guested on The Tommy Hunter Show with Johnny Cash and June Carter, as well as The Family Brown Show on Global TV, Live in London, and Ontario’s Country Roads show. She also appeared on many radio shows, with a special highlight being her performances of the Canadian and American national anthems at several Toronto Blue Jays baseball games.
On stage, Tia has had lead roles in several musicals, most recently portraying Eliza Doolittle in the Simcoe Little Theatre production of My Fair Lady. Whether performing on stage or on record, Tia conveys an honesty and warmth that captures any audience immediately and holds them with a voice described by critics as haunting and powerful, yet tender and consistent.
Tia’s talent and determination, along with her dynamic new single, will no doubt establish this talented young artist at the forefront of the Canadian — and international — entertainment scene.
It’s the right time for programmers to add this great new single…
